Hebe 'Champion' Size:1 gallon size small size

Hebe 'Champion' Size:1 gallon size small sizeWhen I first saw this highly textural plant in a friend's garden, it stopped me. The dark blue green leaves are slightly cup shaped that develop a purple hue in winter. Like other Hebe due to the way it presents its leaves, I get the 'double vision' effect. Interesting and captivating. The spring into summer violet purple flowers add interest and color for months. Easy to grow. Hebe is native to New Zealand and is evergreen. Responds well to pruning.

Like most rhododendrons

The plant flowers very heavily

soft yellow-orange flowers shading to strong reddish-orange at the margins

Prune lightly after blooming to keep it nicely shaped

Mostly it is a bright yellow

If you are zoned for this plant

so you will have to live in zone 9 or 10 to grow it

Somewhat tender

adding to its uniqueness

edgeworthii with large and striking

It was named after the owner of the estate

or even more blue in light shade
